new horizons

Summer is here again and this is the best time for some outdoor adventures. My twelve year old nephew has been asking us when we’ll be going to the beach since he wanted to fly the kite his auntie gave him. I know boys his age are eager for some outdoor summer activities and I […]

I just arrived here in Pori, Finland with my parents, cutie sis and baby C last Sunday evening. It is summer here but the outside temperature is still cold for me though I can see some ladies wearing sleeveless shirts and skirts or shorts while walking around the city. Well, I am still getting myself […]

I had a visit to the hair salon recently and got a new haircut which sadly was not what I wanted to have. The salon staff just snipped a bit of my tresses but I wonder why it took her a long time. The purpose of having a new hairstyle was for me to sport […]

While looking over the plane’s window as we’re nearing Amsterdam airport, I can’t help but be fascinated with the view of these fluffy white clouds outside.

I haven’t seen any angels flying through, but looking at the heavenly mass of clouds reminds me when I was still a kid and I would make out some familiar […]

What do you do when stuck in the waiting room of a dentist’s clinic or a corporate office? Well, me I usually flip over their magazines to entertain myself and make use of my time.

After arriving here in Prague last Saturday evening, my schedule has been a bit hectic and I had little time catching up with sleep. The next day was a Sunday so we attended Mass at the famous Church of the Infant Jesus. It so happened that there was a small Filipino gathering and party within […]

Yey, finally arrived here in Prague on time. Cutie sis, hubby, mom and baby Caite met me at the airport. I am so glad my flight from Manila to Amsterdam was not delayed unlike what happened to the trip of my cutie sis and parents where they had to stay overnight in a hotel in […]

Now as we are in the information age, the usual concept of retirement age (60 or 65) […]

This was the scene in my room an hour ago: Sorting out things to bring and putting them inside the luggage, organizing them so they would fit snugly without any spaces in between… weighing the luggage on the scale… ugh… more than 20 kilograms… scratching head and deciding which stuff to take out of the […]

One of our family friends dropped by our place one time and our conversation touched on topics about the Internet. The wife then mentioned about their little kid who is very much an expert with online gaming. The hubby just didn’t believe that their son can do that much.
I bet our friend’s kid would also […]

Most people accept insurance as a preparation for the inevitable, to make things easy for those left behind. But oh the paper work, age requirements, limits on services in those fine prints, plus the waiting period – all these are the disadvantages, such that some don’t go for it. Sometimes, these factors can be discouraging […]

If my Dad is drawn to DIY hardware shops to check out on some nifty carpentry and automotive tools when he is with us shopping or in malls, my mom and I have the preference of dropping by construction stores to look over value building materials and beautiful home decors, to be offered to clients, […]

The world is getting smaller as they say, and more communities are created in the Internet lately. These help foster friendships and enable people to connect to families, acquaintances and strangers as well.
Just today, another invitation came popping up in my inbox from a relatively new social networking site, Plurk.com with a message that goes […]

While I may be critical about its design concept, workmanship or overall appearance, I have great respect for artists and admire the effort put into their art. I remember […]

Lately I have been busy with a lot of things…sigh, I was I could just freeze time with all the pending tasks and projects demanding my attention. Sometimes, they can be overwhelming I just sit still not knowing which to tackle first. This afternoon was a busy one as I was chatting with my family […]
